Presentation Title: Changing Consumer Tastes: Seeking Regional Opportunities in an Evolving Beverages Market
Description: This presentation will examine the changing face of the soft drinks industry across developed and emerging markets, as volume growth has become extremely difficult in high-income developed markets, while emerging markets require substantial investment to sustain the strong performance seen over recent years. A more stable, but low growth environment for soft drinks is making targeted new product innovation more important than ever. Brand owners must capitalise on high value emerging categories that buck the flat trend to stay responsive and ahead of consumer trends in beverages.
